God knows that personal ownership of private property is fundamental to every individual's ability to express his best possible self as a reflection of his being created in God's image (I will unpack that idea in this study).

How many times have you heard someone respond to your biblically based reason with, "Well that's a matter of your own interpretation."

This is the third of a four part series on How We Got The Bible.

This study will focus on the first period. May the Holy Spirit bless your understanding of this critically important subject — how God gave us His Book.

This week let us attempt to get a better grip and understanding of the Old Testament Book of Proverbs. In this study we will gain an understanding of the various kinds of formal structure that God has incorporated in this book; such insights will greatly aid your comprehension.
God penned this book through His servant Solomon, the wisest man of his day (cf. 1 Kings 3:28) and of all time (1 Kings 3:12).
Most interestingly for those who hold governmental office, a king wrote it to his son who would be king. Accordingly, it has great, direct application to those whom God has called to represent Him in the Capital Community; it is a must study for anyone who seeks to lead! What follows will greatly aid you in wise governmental leadership.
